The Equalizer Project is a forensic research initiative dedicated to identifying and dismantling predatory ideologies within the “truth and freedom” community. Our audit of the EmpowerThePeople (EtP) syndicate, led by Simon Goldberg (The Spaniard) and Simone Marshall, reveals a sophisticated commercial extraction engine masquerading as a private trust.
As of January 30, 2026, the syndicate’s primary digital servers were seized by hosts for violations involving Money Laundering and Ponzi Scheme activities.
Their primary “remedy,” the 1099-OID tax reclaim, is adjudicated as Federal Wire Fraud and a RICO conspiracy.
Major regulators, including the FCA (UK) and IRS-CI (USA), are actively dismantling the syndicate’s operational capacity.
The primary “expert” used by the syndicate is a character named “Paul Muad’Dib“—a fictional figure from the science fiction novel Dune.
Participants face immediate $5,000 IRS penalties and mandatory federal imprisonment.
The EtP “Binding Agreement” is designed to trap members in a cycle of dependency and financial sabotage.
The syndicate explicitly reserves the right to approach your creditors or the IRS to sabotage your filings if you fail to pay their “success fees”.
Members are forced to promise that all future financial claims will be made exclusively through EtP, effectively creating a “lock” on your financial future.
Members are forbidden from identifying or contacting the anonymous “Expert” under threat of immediate fee forfeiture.
For most participants, the EtP “toolbox” leads to total financial exclusion.
